Fabulous Update for Homeless Piano Man: Lands on His Feet in Big Way

A once homeless piano player has not only rehabilitated himself and his family relations, he has landed a recording contract less than a year after his talents were discovered on a sidewalk and applauded worldwide.

Donald Gould became an overnight sensation last summer when a video of him playing a piano on the streets in Sarasota, Florida was viewed millions of times on social media.

“Most of the time you find success right when you’re at the point at, just about had enough. ‘I’m gonna give up that’s it,’” Gould told WFLA. “You push yourself beyond that point and you’ll see the door to success open up.”
